KT ADR had its Relative Strength (RS) Rating upgraded from 69 to 73 Tuesday — a welcome improvement, but still shy of the 80 or better score you prefer to see.
IBD's unique RS Rating identifies market leadership by using a 1 (worst) to 99 (best) score that indicates how a stock's price action over the trailing 52 weeks compares to the rest of the market.
Decades of market research shows that the best stocks often have an RS Rating north of 80 as they launch their biggest climbs. See if KT ADR can continue to show renewed price strength and clear that threshold.
